Did Christy Get GROUNDED???

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Love it D & C Great episode!

In 1980, Bob who was the only one at the Georgetown Airport literally at that time told me to Never tell the FAA Anything. lol He was my instructor who soloed me after 8 hours in a Tomahawk so I could follow him back from Brownwood where he purchased a Citabria.

It's weird seeing Christy dressed up and not wearing her sectional chart leggings. Those are absolutely cool.

[@djburris1961]

I heard discovery flights mentioned. If I ever was able to get to Texas, I would love to go on a discovery flight in Lola, with a catch: Dan sits in the right seat, and Baylee sits in the left seat.

cancel 7600, radio is fixed now. 😃😃😃😃😃

[@ArmyWald0]

Yay audio

[@TakingOff]

I guess NORDO isn't a great idea??

[@ArmyWald0]

​@@TakingOff still watched it to boost the watch time. Until it was removed😂

[@TakingOff]

Appreciate it!

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 flying on thanks.

[@stevendouglas8144]

Hey I can hear you!! 😃 👂🏻

[@PetesGuide]

Gotta make sure you don’t lift the audio line when you lift the ground to get rid of the ground loop.

[@TakingOff]

Squawking 7600

[@jameschristiansson3137]

A talkie !

[@BKetch]

I would love to get a Helicopter license. But the flying would be almost 100% for fun only. And would want to fly from my house.

[@AshleyWincer]

Will you get the helicopter turbine engine add-on?? That would be cool..

[@JosephMullin]

Have you autorotated yet??? I was a crewman in a Sikorsky H3 Sea King for 4 years.

[@TakingOff]

Yes, that’s what has been hard for me

[@mikespencer237]

I lost my medical about 4 years ago, working for SkyWest. My airline was of ABSOLUTELY ZERO help! I had many friends reach out and help me as much as they could but management, as usual, was worthless. There are various arguements about unions and ALPA but if the pilots had them it would be different.

[@JosephMullin]

Wow audio much better

[@TakingOff]

Apparently a podcast needs audio. 😎

I am 66 years old other than typical aches and discomforts am relatively healthy. Started out seeking my PPL late 80s/90s which I completed everything except for never finishing my FAA check-ride. Unfortunately between then and now I lost logbook which I had around 50-50 hrs. I guess my question what is yall's opinion if worth at 66 starting over seeking my PPL? I recently flew total of 3 hours with an instructor. To my surprise he put me through all of the paces and he rarely ever touched the controls. I am torn!

[@TakingOff]

For sure go for it! Any chance you can recover some of that training you did way back? That could save you some time and cost. But from scratch you could get the ticket in 3-6 months.

[@mattmitcham820]

I am 69 and just started my instrument. You can do whatever you want! Age is mostly mental..

[@GaryMCurran]

So, Christy is a Gear Head???!!!??? How cool! Mustang five speed, huh? How many speeding tickets? 😛 Dan, helicopter pilot. Good deal, I do hope you can find a use for it, and built your hours. Christy, I hope you can get your seaplane rating. Back in the 1980s, I took a severe electrical shock, 1,200 volts. Thankfully, it was low current, but enough to do damage to my brain to the point of causing a form of epilepsy called 'Complex Partial Seizure Disorder.' I took medication until a little after the turn of the century, when all my seizures had disappeared. Now, if I had a seizure, unless I was talking to you, or you were sitting looking at me, you wouldn't know I was having one. Unfortunately, a few years ago, I started having something which was almost, but not quite, totally unlike the seizures I had before (respects to the late Douglas Adams). Earlier this year, I had another EEG, and it showed that I still has haveing epileptic activity. That totally crushed any dream of ever sitting in the left seat again. Now, I don't have the money to fly anyway, so it was a moot point, but I could dream. Now, I can't even dream. So, I said all that to simply say this. You only go around once, there is no missed approach in life to break off and try the approach again. Go for the gusto, and if that means your seaplane rating, or your helicopter license, or whatever, even if you never use it, go do it, because you don't know what's going to happen to you to prevent you from every doing it again. By the way, if either of you get up to the Pacific Northwest and feel like getting this old, non-active pilot back in the air for a bit, I would like that if it can be done. 🥰😋😁

Fly experimental...much more affordable.

I searched for the title and got this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKO7hINnm8elbKMsi=mYvgDkgTJt7jo5q7

[@RealRickCox]

The Robinson is the absolute WORST helicopter design. There's not a rotorcraft out there with a worst safety record on mast bumping. I'd encourage new pilots to get in almost any other helicopter to train other than a Robinson. Sorry. Not sorry. :)

[@morthomer5804]

Do you think medical is a greater concern for female pilots

[@TakingOff]

Great question
